-# Project Name
+# Build an ADU
 
-A brief title and one-line description of your project.
+Model the effect of building an ADU on your property.
 
 ## Project Proposal
 
-Complete the following guiding statements to define the purpose and audience for your participation tool:
-
-1. **The specific participants/community I want to engage are...**
+1. **The specific participants/community I want to engage are property owners and developers. Mostly homeowners looking to add an additional unit to their property. As people live and grow their households in a dense city like Philadelphia, they are bound to need more space. For example, fitting a car with a garage or a shed to fill their seasonal decorations/tools.**
    <!-- Describe the specific participants or community members you want to invite to participate. Be more specific than "the general public". -->
 
-2. **The contributions/input I am inviting them to make are...**
+2. **The contributions/input I am inviting them to make are their desired size of ADU and whether they think its feasible on their property based off the auto-calculation. Their desired size of ADU will help my tool model the effect of building an ADU on a property. And, the result will collect the user's responses on whether they'd like to build after seeing the cost and its effect on their home's property value.**
    <!-- Describe what data, annotations, suggestions, or reports participants will contribute. -->
 
-3. **The participants will benefit from contributing their input by...**
+3. **The participants will benefit from contributing their input by modeling their ADU construction and assess its feasibility. It'll save them the time of calculating costs and benefits and allow them to come to a decision sooner.**
    <!-- Explain how the participants themselves benefit from taking part. -->
 
-4. **The users that will use the collected data are...**
+4. **The users that will use the collected data are housing developers to better understand how allotted space can change the overall profitability of a home. Planners can also benefit from this information by understanding the desirability of ADUs to inform policy.**
    <!-- Identify who will use the resulting data (these could be the same as the contributors, or a different group such as planners, organizers, or dispatchers). -->
 
-5. **The collected data will benefit those users by...**
+5. **The collected data will benefit those users by having a better understanding of spatial allocation. They are able to come to a decision easier and better informed when they understand the effects of allowing an ADU on house value. For planners, they'll be able to benefit by formulating a policy with residents' opinions in mind.**
    <!-- (Optional, if the users of the data are different from the participants contributing the input) Explain how the data will help those users make decisions or take action. -->
 
 ## Overview
-
+**This application is a tool for users to calculate the effect of building an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) on their own property. By simply inputting their desired ADU size and build type, the tool takes information based on construction costs and rent to determine whether it effects on their property value. **
 <!-- Provide a high-level overview of the application, how it works, and how users interact with the map and interface. -->
